    Letting Your Broody Hen Hatch Her Eggs

    I’ll never forget waking up on an early October morning to hear the undeniable sound of new life unbound—PEEP PEEP PEEP! I was shaking like a leaf with excitement. Our Easter Egger hen Lucille 2 (from the show Arrested Development, also we already had a Lucille, so it was perfect!) had turned...

    Turkeys Coming To Roost

    I have had turkeys and chickens. They were never housed together, or even mingled together (I’m a stickler for biosecurity and npip recommendations)🤓😄👍. One thing that always sucked, was that the turkeys ALMOST NEVER returned to their giant turkey-friendly coop when the sun set—and the random...

    You HAVE to go purchase a trap. Or get one online! If it really is so worth it to you. You do know what to do because you wrote it in your comment “I don’t have a trap and I don’t know what to do” (I say this in an encouraging, trust yourself, you are competent and capable way) If you can’t...

    Aw man :-( im so sorry! That’s horrible! I hate to see hopelessness and despair. I too live basically AMONGST the raccoon (used to love em, can’t believe I ever did. My conservationist mind struggles with it, but, no yeah, they seem to have evolved like the wolf to the dog...I really don’t like...

    They are NOT bantams. Heehee, along with every other aspect that makes them perhaps the most unique; they ARE a small sized chicken but they are NOT categorized or considered a Bantam Species. Please edit. But also, good entry :thumbsup

    White Silkie Rooster. Asian Breed. NOT a bantam breed. They are officially their own full breed, they are just small (and unique in every other way! Even toe count!)

    Review by '' on item 'Sav-a-Chick Electrolytes'

    For whatever reason, Sav-A-Chick has delivered the most notable and most consistent therapeutic results in our flock; compared to other similar products. Especially for BAKCYARD CHICKEN FLOCKS! Oh my gosh, it’s perfect! You can purchase single packets for $1 or less that are measured out for one...

    I fell in love with a turkey.

    My “son” trying to come inside :). Turkeys are intelligent ENOUGH to form real bonds with their people, and have VERY unique personalities. They’re like, in between a chicken and a dog. THEY’RE THE BEST! (MINUS THE FACT THAT MY TOM AND I ARE SIMILAR IN SIZE. like...we’d fight in the same weight...

    No eggs!

    Also. How old is your hen. Have you had her since she first started laying? It sounds normal. Most, if not all, turkeys are NOT bred to be prolific egg layers. The numbers we are used to with chicken hens is unnatural. Also. Turkey hens have, on average, three good years of laying. After that...

    normal poo for a scared turkey?

    Yeah, give it more time to see. Also —Save-a-chic (for me it’s been the most reliable brand) or any other brand poultry/livestock electrolyte replenishment supplement would be a fantastic help for your new baby-boos. These products are most recommended for these exact scenarios. —secondly...

    I was starting to think the same; that she must be an EE mixed with something and kept the gene of the egg coloration. @Texas Kiki , here is a photo, hers are the green ones..wait duh haha my b. Hmm..different hues of green too...
